Default air separator in water line

The foot valve in the bottom of my well is starting to leak water again.
Third time in 22 years. Its a 5 hp. unit 220 foot down. I read a while ago
that I should have two check valves installed for this application. One at
the top of the well in addition to the bottom one.

OK, I'm ordering parts to install the second check valve.

I can see the next issue, I'm going to get a burp of air every time the pump
starts. Anybody know of a device to separate this air shot from the water in
the line?

Karl
